Childcare tax credit question

We don't have to pay for daycare because we are super fortunate to have family take care of DD while I work, but we did start her in mother's morning out this year.  It's only 4 hours, 2 days a week.  Would that count toward the childcare tax credit?  Or does your child have to be in a full time day care program to count?

My FIL does our taxes, so I'll be sure to ask him too, but this just occurred to me and I figured someone here might have come across the same issue.
